Account
Informant and friend squirrel hunting in dried up creek bed with banks 5 to 25 feet high that ran for miles to the Brazos River. Late afternoon friend's dog started acting strangely and eventually ran away back down the creek. Youths then saw about 80 yards away, with sinking sun directly behind it, a 7 to 7.5-foot figure, est. weight 400 to 450 lbs. standing on the rim 20 feet above them. Couldn't see features. Thinking it might be human, informant waved, and figure moved out of sight behind trees. Youths then went back down the creek bed to find a low spot where they could get out onto the open field, and went home, where dog was waiting.
